Forgotten but great films on Netflix. These productions are worth catching up on.

Calendar 3/5/2026

The Netflix library is vast, which is why many interesting films gradually fade into the shadow of new releases. Among the older productions, however, one can find quite a few titles that still manage to surprise with their story, atmosphere, and great cast. If you are looking for something interesting for the evening, here are three forgotten but very good films available on Netflix.

Annihilation (2018)

The science fiction film tells the story of a group of scientists who embark on a journey to a mysterious zone known as “The Shimmer”. This location appeared after the impact of an unidentified object and began to change the laws of nature. The expedition quickly discovers that everything in the zone behaves differently - plants, animals, and even humans. The production is notable for its dense atmosphere, unusual storyline, and visually extraordinary world.

The Ritual (2017)

This is one of the more interesting horrors that did not achieve the popularity it deserved. The film tells the story of a group of friends embarking on a trek through Scandinavian forests. During their journey, they start to experience strange and terrifying events. Eventually, it becomes clear that there may be something far more dangerous in the woods than mere wild nature.

The King (2019)

A historical drama telling the story of a young prince who unexpectedly becomes the King of England. He must confront politics, betrayal, and the impending war with France. The film stands out for its dark atmosphere, realistic portrayal of the Middle Ages, and very well-executed battle scenes.
